Every year, RaY receives dozens of requests to do research with at-risk and street-entrenched youth. Too often, young participants have been “over-surveyed yet under-served”. The main purpose of our research protocol and application is to protect youth from needless marginalization and exploitation, while also reducing the impact on service delivery for the organization.

All prospective researchers requesting access to RaY participants, staff, and/or data have to complete an application.
